\u201cLove this game!!! So many of the other TM games have gotten so easy that I feel like no, or little, thought was put into the making of the game. This game has been challenging & I love it!! While some of the maps look very familiar, the challenge has increased. And so far no dark mines!!! Yay!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the way this game is set up.. being able to redo levels to earn the diamonds, etc. This is far more challenging than any of the other games of this type so far. I am a big Emily fan, and all of the spin offs as well, I think I’ve bought them all!! I play some over and over. This one is my fave so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have most of the Clutter series and I love them all, especially the latest Clutter Extreme. I have MS and I told my doctor about these games and how I feel it has helped me to comprehend and remember items to match. Sometimes on rare occasions I have to use a hint but that does not bother me. Doctor said that is good and to keep it up, as my brain will not stagnant. Joe is a genius and I look forward to new ones he has in the making.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great series. It is clear that the developers have spent a great deal of time both in programming and in making the game engaging. They have succeeded in both these areas. The scenes are clear and crisp. The objects to be found are clear and cleverly hidden. There are many side games that are both traditional and original. All in all it is the best of the best in this genre.\u201d<\/p>\n
